One of his projects involved using food as a tool to represent data. The information was revealed through the recipe, the layout, and the flavor, which was a more effective way to understand the data. One of the dishes was a series of coffins made of chocolate with different fills inside. Each fill represented a cause of death. It humorously referred to the line, &ldquo;Life is a bottle of chocolate; you never know what you get.&rdquo;. I never realized that taste could reflect data. In my work, I will try to break the conventions of traditional representation and link the data to something unexpected but exciting.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moritz Stefaner is a data visualizer focusing on UI design.
